A bite-sized treat all rolled up

If you've been searching for a super easy and delicious snack or lunch idea, this recipe is for you! Tortillas are filled with a creamy cream cheese mixture, taco seasonings and crunchy veggies — and rolled up and chilled. Slice into pinwheels and enjoy. These are wonderful for kids' lunch boxes or as a make-ahead after-school treat.

These little taco roll-ups might be bite-sized, but they are large in flavor. Cream cheese is mixed with salsa, green onions and shredded cheddar cheese, and then rolled up into these fantastic little bites. You can also make both the filling and the roll-ups ahead and keeping them in the refrigerator until ready to serve.
